Nick Ebert - Windsor Spitfire Player of the Week

(Windsor) Defenceman Nick Ebert is our Tecumseh and South Walkerville Vision Centres Player of the Week for the period ended Sunday, February 26th.
Ebert had a pair of goals and a +1 rating in Sunday's 8-6 win over Sudbury, while playing big minutes on the blueline and a very solid, two-way game.

"I feel like the bounces are starting to go my way," Ebert told windsorspitfires.com. "I've struggled a bit this year with consistency. But the second half of the season, I've been pretty happy with my play."

For the season, Ebert now has six goals and 34 points along with 54 penalty minutes. His 28 assists are tied for second on the club with Kerby Rychel.

Ebert, 17, is eligible for the upcoming 2012 NHL Entry Draft in Pittsburgh.

SPITS GET SMOKED...AGAIN! STING 5 - SPITS 0

A four-goal third period turned a tight game into a blowout on Friday night, as the Sting beat the Spitfires 5-0 before 3,748 at the RBC Centre in Sarnia.
Domenic Alberga, Reid Boucher, Anthony DeAngelo, Ryan Spooner and Justice Dundas all scored for Sarnia (30-21-2-5), which moved two points up on Owen Sound for fourth place in the Western Conference with the win.

Jaroslav Pavelka made 29 saves in a losing cause for Windsor (25-28-4-2).

Wins by both Sault Ste Marie and Guelph further muddied the race for the final two playoff spots. The Greyhounds are now just two points back of the Spitfires for seventh in the conference, and the Storm are just three back with three games in hand.

Trailing 1-0 in the second period, the Spits were awarded a 90-second, 5-on-3 advantage when Tyler J Brown was given a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for hitting Kerby Rychel from behind. But the Spits couldn't tie the game and threatened on only a few occassions over the final 20 minutes.

Boucher banked one off Pavelka and in to make it 2-0 Sting just 1:55 into the third period. DeAngelo supplied the dagger, weaving his way through the Windsor defensive zone before beating Pavelka with a backhander high, making it 3-0 at 8:05.

Spooner's 26th came on the power play at 12:13, before Dundas scored a meaningless goal - his first in OHL goal - with the game out of reach at 18:32.

The Spits are off Saturday, before hosting the Sudbury Wolves Sunday afternoon at 2:05.

RYCHEL'S HAT TRICK LEADS SPITS

Kerby Rychel scored three times, leading the Spitfires to a huge, 4-1 win in London on Friday night.

Jaroslav Pavelka did the rest, making 39 saves in his best performance of the year. Nick Ebert chipped in a pair of assists and Nick Czinder (14) had the other goal for Windsor (25-27-3-2).

With the game tied at 1-1 late in the second period, Rychel deftly tipped a Derek Holden wrister from the point past Michael Houser. And the Spits never looked back.

Rychel increased the lead to two, banging home a Brandon Devlin rebound just 2:09 into the third.

With the London net empty, Rychel missed on his initial shot from just past centre ice, but hustled to follow up his own rebound before chipping home his third of the game and team-leading 36th of the season.

Former Spitfire Austin Watson had the only goal for London (41-12-0-1), which lost for the Spitfires at home for the second time this season.

The win moves the Spits within two points of Saginaw for sixth place in the Western Conference and, more importantly, six up on ninth place Guelph.

The Spitfires wrap the weekend up Saturday night, when the red-hot Owen Sound Attack - winners of five straight - visit the WFCU Centre.

Colin MacDonald's first goal of the season with 2:25 to play spoiled a solid effort from the home side on Thursday night, as Plymouth dumped Windsor, 4-3, in front of 5,656 at the WFCU Centre.
Jordan Maletta, Nick Ebert and Jeff Braithwaite each had their fourth goals of the season, as the Spitfires 24-27-3-2) fired 41 shots at Matt Mahalak.

Tied at 2-2 after 40 minutes, the Spits got into penalty trouble. And Jamie Devane made them pay, scoring his 19th of the season during a 5-on-3 advantage at 7:24 of the third period.

But Braithwaite replied just 2:13 later on Windsor's 7th PP of the night, tying the game at 3-3.

MacDonald's winner was an unassisted floater from the point that beat John Cullen (20 saves) over the shoulder.

(Windsor) The Windsor Spitfires announced today that Chris Marchese has been named the Tecumseh & South Walkerville Vision Centres Player of the Week for the week ending Sunday, February 12th. Marchese had 4 points this week, 3 of those coming in an outstanding performance against his former team the Erie Otters by scoring a goal and adding two assists in a 5-0 Spits win Saturday Night. With those 4 points Marchese has now pushed his season totals to 15 goals and 34 points; 19 of those points were recorded after joining the Spitfires. This is Chris’ third player of the week award since being acquired by the Spitfires on December 13th, 2011.

The 17-year-old Woodbridge native has been a key contributor to the Spitfires since the moment he’s joined the team. Marchese has proven to be the offensive threat that scouts and coaches anticipated he would develop into. His talents have undoubtedly benefited the Spits greatly and will need to be put on full display as they make a playoff push heading into the final stretch of the season.

Great work Chris! Keep it up!

MAJORS OUTLAST SPITS

(Mississauga) Riley Brace was in on every goal for the home side on Sunday afternoon, as the Majors beat the Spitfires, 3-1, in their only visit to the Hershey Centre this season.

Brady Vail scored the only goal for Windsor (24-26-3-2), which failed to reach the .500 mark with the loss.

Brace opened the scoring at 15:31 of the first period on a bizarre play. As Jaroslav Pavelka (17 saves) played a dump-in behind his goal, it became lodged between his skate and bottom of his pad, before falling out right onto Brace's stick for an easy tap-in.

Vail tied the game just 1:40 later, taking a nifty pass from Ben Johnson and beating Brandon Maxwell (28 saves) with a quick snapshot.

Sergey Kuptsov scored the eventual winner at 1:14 of the second period, sliding home a rebound after Pavelka couldn't control an innocent looking shot by Kristoff Kontos.

The Spits had four PP chances in the middle frame - including 59 seconds of 5-on-3 time - but couldn't tie the game. That ended up costing them in the final 20, as they tired and managed just four shots.

Brace rounded out the scoring with his 30th of the year at 16:28 of the third.

Kerby Rychel scored his 30th goal of the season to spoil Scott Wedgewood's (34 saves) shutout bid late in the third period.

The game was contentious from the outset, featuring six fights and eight game misconducts.

Jaroslav Pavelka replaced starter John Cullen at 11:50 of the third period. Cullen was involved in an altertaction with Plymouth's Garret Meurs and both players were given misconducts - Cullen's a game and Meurs his second 10-minute misconduct of the night.

QUEENER A KING IN OT WIN FOR SPITFIRES

QUEENER A KING IN OT WIN
(OWEN SOUND) Zack MacQueen's second goal of the game was the OT winner, as the Spits escaped Owen Sound with a thrilling, 6-5 win on Friday night. 

Chris Marchese had a goal and two assists, and Nick Ebert chipped in with three helpers, as Windsor (22-23-3-2) moved within two points of the Attack for fifth place in the Western Conference. 

The Spits fell behind 3-0 before the game was 10 minutes old. But Michael Clarke (12) and Chris Marchese (14) scored in an 85-second spurt late in the first period, cutting the lead to 3-2.

The teams traded a pair of goals in the middle 20, with Nick Czinder (13) and MacQueen (11) scoring for the Spits. 
The Attack appeared to have made it a 6-4 game in the third period. But it was ruled Mike Halmo knocked a puck in with a high stick. That set the stage for Windsor to complete the comeback. Just 32 seconds later, Kerby Rychel's 29th of the season evened things at 5-5 at the 7:31 mark. 

MacQueen's second of the night came 44 seconds into overtime, during Windsor's third power play of the game. 
John Cullen was outstanding in goal after coming in cold, replacing Jaroslav Pavelka at 9:12 of the first period. Cullen made 35 saves for the win.
